Moandays and Gargoyles

A sweet Sunday ends, the night is daft
Dark and in the distance, Monday waits
Like gargoyles, peering at mortals below
Whilst they mark those who they choose
Gargoyles, ugly ones
I hate Gargoyles, they are hideous but fathom a guess what else is ugly Mondays, ah the bane of the week
If I had to pick either
I would, neither
The mango tree next to my house bears some lovely raw juveniles, and a mix of infant mangoes
I bit one earlier today on my Sunday evening stroll, it was bitter, tasted like the upcoming Monday
I should have been a horticulturalist 
Growing mangoes, in my yard, back in my village
Away from these gargoyles and Mondays
Visiting farmer's markets, selling vegetables
About gargoyles though
Let me wonder, why does someone make them 
Those gargoyles perched on the edges of buildings
I wouldn't want my creation to be hideous 
And scary the least
But Mondays, the sludge of drudgery 
That no one likes, worse, I was born on one
But then I nurse the woes of the silly awry planners
Hoping to save a few pennies, creating money grabbing fronts
Called customer portals
Mondays, gargoyles, my lack of having studied harder hits me often
I now spend time, wishing the night doesn't fade
Lest Monday arrives
But it will, I guess I will chase my own gargoyles in the morning
Terrible ones
But then again, I love my misery
It makes life a tad meaningful, these paradoxes and challenges
It keeps life interesting
I grow bored of mediocrity quickly anyway
Nothing less than being under duress works
Adds a lovely smile to my soul
So come Monday, we will be fine
I have prepared myself to handle you just fine
But you Gargoyles, you stay clear away
I have nothing to do with you all
